Buenos Aires — Argentina’s football scene is buzzing, but not all the news is positive. Recently, the team has been caught up in an Argentina racism controversy that’s overshadowing their impressive achievements.
Argentina not only won the World Cup a few years ago but also clinched the Copa America title again, making it a magical few years for the team and for Lionel Messi, who finally got the glory he deserved.
However, this celebratory moment has been marred by a foolish mistake. Some players from the Argentine team were recently caught singing a racist song on Instagram Live, which was streamed by Enzo Fernández.
The song targeted the French players, despite France not being part of the Copa America tournament. Argentina beat Colombia in the final, so it’s baffling why there was a focus on France, whom they had previously defeated in the World Cup final.
Enzo Fernández, one of the players involved, has since apologized for his actions, but the apology hasn’t fully convinced many people. In fact, several of his club teammates have unfollowed him on social media. It’s perplexing how you can play alongside African players and then turn around and sing racist songs about them.
Despite this controversy, Argentina remains the No. 1 ranked team in the world, which is quite an achievement, especially with Messi, who, despite his age, continues to shine on the field. The question now is whether the club should take action against the players involved in this Argentina racism controversy.
Should the club take a stand and address this issue seriously? Or should they focus on the team’s remarkable performance and let this incident be a lesson learned? The situation certainly puts a damper on Argentina’s football success and raises important questions about respect and accountability in sports.
